Lyrics: 

Beethoven, Beethoven, Beethoven
Beethoven, Beethoven, Beethoven

Into the night
You'll make me cry
I need your love
To save my life

I need you while my piano gently weeps
Listen to Beethoven

A melody
Will set you free
You need my love
Deep in your mind

I need you while my piano gently weeps
Music gonna save your life

Into the night (Into the night)
You'll make me cry (You'll make me cry)
I need your love (I need your love)
To save my life (To save my life)

I need you while my piano gently weeps
Listen to Beethoven

You need my love (You need my love)
Deep in your mind (Deep in your mind)

I need you while my piano gently weeps
Music gonna save your life

BEG: 1
LGT: 4   4
STD: 5   5
HVY: 6   6

Heavy Notes: Oddly large amount of jumps, really.  Also, in the latter half 
 of the song, you'll be doing a few tricks with freeze arrows, so pay 
 attention to when you should leave your foot or not.

Lyrics: 

Paint it black and white and easy
I’ve seen attention
See through me
I want perfection

Call on me

BEG: 1
LGT: 6   6
STD: 8   8

Heavy Notes: Almost entirely straight streams with lots of crossover.  Not 
 much besides that and like one freeze arrow.  The difficulty just comes 
 from the large amount of streams.

Lyrics: 

Yeh, yeh yeh yeh yeh 
Uhm hmm hm hm 

It's a wonderful night 
You've gotta take it from me 
It's a wonderful night 

Come on and break it on down 

It's a wonderful night 
Go ahead and release 
It's a wonderful night 

Come on and break it on down 

You know the music search engine need a tune-up 
Soon as they out the gate they all a wanna hear da corner, uh-huh 
Well that was cool but now but then I heard a rumor, uh-huh 
Your crew was ridin' for the White Cliffs of Dover, uh-huh

Uh, let me tell ya how we do it in California 
We'll have you on the run just like a puma 
If it don't move us 
Ain't paid ya dues and it ain't gonna get our roosers 
We gonna lose ya to the consumer solution c'mon 

It's a wonderful night 
You've gotta take it from me 
It's a wonderful night 

Come on and break it on down 

It's a wonderful night 
You've gotta shake it for me 
It's a wonderful night 

Come on and break it on down 

Girl I want it you got it 
Your body's like a narcotic 
The thought is auto-erotic 

Come on and break it on down 

Can I get it on credit 
I guess your brick-house I'll bet it 
Take it as far as you'll let it 

Come on and break it on down 

That the spot will get hot 
That its ready to pop 
Don't even look at the clock 
All of your problems forgotten 
It's time to rock till you drop 
Feel the force and just flock 
To the epicenter of the party's bass drummers c'mon 

It's a wonderful night 
You've gotta take it from me 
It's a wonderful night 

Come on and break it on down 

It's a wonderful night 
You've gotta shake it for me 
It's a wonderful night 

Come on and break it on down

    Sgl Dbl

LGT: 3   3
STD: 5   5
HVY: 7   7

 but they're separated for an easy feel.  A few times you'll come from streams 
 to a jump.  Not too much to sweat about.

Lyrics: 

Ooooooo

Ooooooo (Go, go!)

Ohhhh!

Play it four on the floor 
Gonna turn it loose
Move your sexy legs
And you'll feel the groove

Gonna go really far
Go, step for me now
Let the party go on
In a way, you're going fine by me (Ohhh, ohhh)

C'mon, move like this
Wait too long, you've got nothing right there
Where you're standing, hell yeah, I'm the man
What else do you expect from my beautiful baby?

I want to take you where 
(I want to take you where)
 (Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go c'mon!)
We can party (We can party)
From dusk 'til dawn (1998!)

I know you feel (I know you feel)
 (Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go c'mon!)
Like letting go (Let it go)
The music will make you high
The music has the power

Part two, are you with that (You can take me higher)
Tell me how you feel, make your body sweat 
Like a sheer taste, start things again (You can take me higher)
Go X and Y, moving free

Party down, fellas live your dreams (You can take me higher)
Stay, don't miss the power again
Free that mind, work your body 'til you're wet and soakin'
 (Oh, you can take me higher)
We're hot and smokin'! 

You've got to free your mind (Let it go, let it go, let it go!)
And then (C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon!)
Work that body (Work that body)
Come on get down (1998!)

Oh, go with me (oh, go with me)

BPM: 144

Difficulty:
    Sgl Dbl
BEG: 1
LGT: 3   4
STD: 6   7
HVY: 6   7

Play Notes: The end of this song slows down considerably right to the last 
 note.

Heavy Notes: Definitely not as tough as the original.  It's mostly small 
 streams.  The thing that might throw you is the large number of freezes, and 
 a few odd tricks they try do with them.

---

Song Type: Konami Original
First Appearance: DDR Ultramix
Artist Notes: Thuggie D. is a psuedonym for "Gamebeat", a sound group that 
 Konami of Hawaii hired to create new songs for Ultramix.  They're headed by 
 Darryl S. Duncan, most probably where the "D" came from.  This is a remix of 
 the classic tune of the same name by dj TAKA, featured in DDR Konamix and 
 DDR Extreme USA.
Misc. Notes: The stepcharts are actually taken from DDR Festival, which is a 
 slightly modified version of the original DDR Ultramix charts.

Difficulty:
    Sgl Dbl
BEG: 1
LGT: 3   2
STD: 5   5
HVY: 7   8

Heavy Notes: The streams are quite small in this song, and pretty simple.  
 You'll find a few crossovers, but they're also simple.  The only part that 
 could trip you up would be a few odd freeze arrows in the beginning and end.

First Appearance: beatmania 6th Mix
DDR Debut: DDR Extreme (Arcade)
American Apperances: DDR Ultramix 2
Artist Notes: DJ SIMON is Kiyotaka Sugimoto, a BEMANI artist with a healthy

Difficulty:

BEG: 2
LGT: 3   3
STD: 6   6
HVY: 9   8

Heavy Notes: The really hard parts of this song are when the rhythmic euro 
 synth notes play, which means long streams, often which go all the way 
 around the pad.  At the end, the last stream has lots of jumps in it.

Lyrics: 

Everyone's hypnotized! (and variations on that)

HVY: 7   7

Heavy Notes: Small to mid-length streams.  Quite a few freezes.  A bit of

 that I can't make out for the life of me).

 start showing up near the end with crossovers, but it never gets too 
 complicated.  It's just fast.

Lyrics (English words are capitalized): 

Sweet Lover... yeah, yeah, yay
Doo-doo-doodoo-doo-doo-doodoo-doo

English Translation:

Sweet lover... yeah yeah yeah...
Doo-doo-doodoo doo doo doodoo do
La la la, forever...

Like a dream, soon things like 
I've only imagined before will come to me.
This love song marks the beginning because 
now you're the only one who can turn my feelings to love. 

Everyday and everywhere a rainbow spreads across our hearts
All seven colors of that melody flow into the sky as far as we can see.
Everyday and every time, echoing in our hearts
Is a sweet harmony that will encompass our love as long as we are here. 

La la lala... 
Oooohh, yeah! 

Everyday and everywhere, make sure of the love again
As we go, this feeling keeps on going, just like this song!
Everyday and every time, I'll always bring you
The rhythm that'll make you love me forever!

Artist Notes: Riyu Kosaka is the most recognizable member of Konami's own 
 J-pop group: Be For U.  Check DIVE for more info on them.

 incorrect steps for the song (they used CANDY *'s).

LGT: 3   3
STD: 5   5
HVY: 7   7
CHA: 9   9

Heavy Notes: This song is mostly small streams with just a few crossovers.  
 There's a little bit of chaos in the beginning to match the song.  Also, 
 there's a series of tough freeze steps in the middle.

Challenge Notes: MUCH tougher.  Sixteenths are dotted all over the place and 
 there are some more difficult streams to deal with.  There are a couple of 
 opportunities to face multiple clusters of sixteenths in a row.

Lyrics:

Feelin' blue
I'm thinking of you
And I was a fool to let you walk away (walk away)
Tears in my eyes today
Make my world
The color of blue

Red with a twist
Orange of fire
Green of tourmaline
Yellow, mellow, hello, hello
Paint me a smile
I am covered and colored with one, only one

'Cause baby I'm alone
Alone without you
What am I supposed to do?
I'm alone
Alone without you
I'm the color of blue

Feelin' blue
I'm thinking of you
And I was a fool to let you walk away
Tears in my eyes today
Make my world
The color of blue

Feelin' blue
I'm thinking of you
And I was a fool to let you walk away
Tears in my eyes today
Make my world
The color of blue

Song Type: Konami Original
First Appearance: beatmania IIDX 6th Style
DDR Debut: DDR Extreme (Arcade)
American Appearances: DDR Ultramix
Artist Notes: dj TAKA should be no stranger to BEMANI fans.  Often considered 
 to be just as popular (if not moreso) than Naoki, Takayuki Ishikawa has been 
 with Konami since beatmania IIDX.  He's done many DDR and beatmania tunes.  
 The vocalist is listed as Chiyoko, a psuedonym for Sunny James, vocalist of 
 HIGHER.
Misc. Notes: The (for EXTREME) tag denotes that it's a shortened version of 
 the original Colors (Radio Edit).

UNLOCK: Mission C-34

Artist: Des-ROW feat. TSUBOI for ALPHA
Genre: Hip Rock*
BPM: 143-172

Difficulty:
    Sgl Dbl
BEG: 1
LGT: 3   3
STD: 6   5
HVY: 8   8
CHA: 8   9

Play Notes: The song starts at 143, then picks up to 172 about a third of the 
 way through.

Heavy Notes: It's all streams, following the lyrics, naturally.  The streams 
 aren't particularly long, mostly seven-steps for the most part with a few 
 getting longer (except the last few lines, which is one long stream), but the 
 steps themselves tend to involve crossovers a lot.  There are also a few 
 jumps that end off the streams.

Challenge Notes: It's not TOO much harder (same foot-rating, after all), but 
 it's a bit more complicated in the streams.  There are several streams that 
 repeated arrows of the same kind (taps), and more jumps ending streams.

English Translation:

Nonsense language from a rotating head, high tension and a firm beat
From a 5-match janken match I guide comes tactics for big opinions
Nonsense language from a rotating head, high tension and a firm beat
From a 5-match janken match I guide comes tactics for big opinions

35 plus 4 divided by 2, the partygoers who don't burst open don't know
This sociable sound demon screwing into an obtuse angle easily
They dunno where from or where to, but anyway he divided the sound
Everyone's winding chatter is a dangling handkerchief

An alteration in the radar and in the nonsense coming over the airwaves
If you start snorin', your heartbeat that's goin' up as much as your 
 personality changes
Is really greedy, but there's power and land of the priest's staff
And since I was born, I've kept on playin' like this.

Nonsense language from a rotating head, high tension and a firm beat
From a 5-match janken match I guide comes tactics for big opinions
Nonsense language from a rotating head, high tension and a firm beat
From a 5-match janken match I guide comes tactics for big opinions

From 3rd street to 4th streeth, from main street to the carnal desires
Pack up the duties left to you, take it all gently
Really, you don't have to worry if you extend over to this slow train
Don Pach Don Pach Don Today, on this Japanese island where they're sexin' it up

From 3rd street to 4th streeth, from main street to the carnal desires,
Pack up the duties left to you, take it all gently,
Really, you don't have to worry if you extend over to this slow train.
Don Pach Don Pach Don Today, on this Japanese island where they're sexin' it up
Don Pach Don Pach Don Today, on this Japanese island where they're sexin' it up
Don Pach Don Pach Don Today, on this Japanese island where they're sexin' it up

That time, that time, I give respect, we'll break it all apart, yo, just like

First Appearance: pop'n music 6
DDR Debut: DDR Extreme (Arcade)
Artist Notes: See BE LOVIN for info on Des-ROW, also known as D-Crew.  ALPHA 
 is a group that's done its share of BEMANI work.
Misc. Notes: "Dai kenkai" means "big opinion" in Japanese.  "Janken", is more 
 locally known as "Rock, Paper, Scissors".  "Don Pach" is one of two things, 
 a popular Japanese confectionary similar to pop rocks, or the sound a 
 machine gun makes (probably the latter).  Oh, and the lyrics are really not 
 supposed to make sense.
